Arabella had suspected Callum would choose Edith as her dance partner. However, she wondered if Edith had actually regained her mory, as she had accepted his invitation too readily. Furthermore, what was the relationship between Callum and Edith now? They used to seem harmonious, but since their five-year separation due to an accident, she wondered if their relationship was rely business partnerships. And why did Callum still treat Edith so favorably?
"Callum, do you still like Edith now?"
"Of course. I still love her."
"Even though it seems like she doesn’t love you? The last ti I saw her, she was very nervous when she t you."
"I’ll still love her even if we start over. I promised her five years ago. If anything happens to her, I won’t let her go. I’ll protect her for the rest of my life."
Arabella laughed sarcastically, folding her arms. "So you’re a fool blinded by love."
"Yes, I admit I’m very stupid. But I’ve always been loyal to only one woman. I’d rather be stupid than live a miserable life with a woman I don’t love." Callum slowly approached his enemy and then moved his lips closer to her earlobe. "If you interfere with our relationship again, then I will assu that you were the main culprit who caused the accident that ti."
"How dare you accuse now!"
"Because you were one of the people who hated living happily with Edith. Seeing you still hold on to that hatred now, I’m even more convinced you’re one of the main masterminds."
"I’m sure you’ll regret accusing carelessly!"
"Edith will be even more unforgiving if her mories return completely. For the rest of her life, she’ll rember that you stole her fiancé."
"Then what about you? Aren’t you the one who stole Edith from Cliff? You even did worse, getting her pregnant!"
"Can you look in the mirror before you speak?!"
Arabella lifted the corners of her lips haughtily. "I wonder how your stepmother will react to this."

anwhile, at the boutique, Edith finally managed to finish making their outfits for the ball with her assistant. Her efforts, which only took a week, were worth it. Now she could rest peacefully while waiting for her lover to co to her.
Although Edith had always thought Callum was very possessive of her, she was actually no different. Edith began to worry that sothing had happened to her boyfriend because he was unusually late. She began pacing back and forth, staring at the clock on the wall.
At the sa ti, her lover entered her office. She quickly turned to greet him. Staring at his radiant smile, her heart fluttered.
"Have you been waiting for for a long?" Callum asked nervously.
Edith shook her head as she walked quickly toward her lover. "I can’t wait to see you in my clothes."
"If you designed it for , there’s no doubt about it. I’ve always relied on you."
It didn’t take long to change, and they were both dressed in the outfits they would wear to the ball. Edith smiled shyly, gazing at her lover’s handsoness in his suit, her eyes sparkling. She hadn’t expected to be able to transform him into an even more handso man.
"You look so beautiful in that dress, Edith." Callum gave her two thumbs up, his eyes focused on his girlfriend’s appearance from head to toe.
Edith pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "You look great in my suit, too. I really like it."
"Since you have designed such a beautiful suit for , it seems I should give you a special gift."
"No need. I think you’ve already given so many beautiful clothes and letting be Erdin’s nanny already makes happy."
"After this, I want to take you on a date sowhere. Before we pick up our kids from school."
"Then, what about your work?"
"Actually, I’m not too busy today. I can go on as many dates as I want. Especially since you haven’t had much fun lately because of ."
Edith shook her head slowly. "Actually, I’ve had quite a bit of fun, even though I’ve been working overti a lot." Her hands gripped her lover’s tightly. "Because you’ve always been there for . We’ve always talked to each other."
"Edith..."
Suddenly, soone contacted him at an inopportune ti, making him angry. For a long ti, whenever soone bothered him about going on a date, he felt like scolding them. However, because the person was a VIP client, he had to maintain professionalism. He was forced to comply with the VIP client’s wishes rather than risk ruining his reputation. His face, once adorned with a sweet smile, was now gloomy.
"Edith, I’m sorry, I have to go back to the hotel now. A VIP guest suddenly changed his visit schedule to today."
"It’s okay. You should be working first. As for the date, we can do it tonight."
His heart fluttered when he heard his lover now say the word "date" with confidence, even though she had always acted shy around him. Was this a sign that his lover was growing more fond of him as ti went on? He was still waiting for her declaration of true love. For now, he needed to wait patiently rather than risk further damage to their relationship.
To vent his happiness, his lips landed on his lover’s forehead with deep affection.
Likewise, Edith felt the warmth of this special kiss, making her want to feel it longer. She wanted to keep Callum here with her even longer. Because only Callum always made her happy, even when she was going through difficult tis.
"I will be ho on ti today so I can play with you and the kids."
Edith wrapped her arms around her lover’s broad back. "You don’t have to push yourself."
"Besides, we have to learn to dance later. If you want to rest first, you can go to sleep later while I wait for you to get ho."
"No need. Besides, I miss playing with the kids."
